The growing interest in edge computing is driving the demand for more efficient deep learning models that fit into resource-constrained edge devices like Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors. The challenging limitations of these devices in terms of size and power has given rise to the field of tinyML, focusing on enabling low-cost machine learning...

The EU crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV manufacturing industry has faced strong foreign competition in the last decade. To strive in this competitive environment and differentiate itself from the competition, the EU c-Si PV manufacturing industry needs to (1) focus on highly performing c-Si PV technologies, (2) include sustainability by design,...

Quantum computers based on semiconductor quantum dots are proving promising contenders for large scale quantum information processing. In particular, group IV based semiconductor hosts containing an abundance of nuclear spin-zero isotopes have made considerable headway into fulfilling the requirements of a universal quantum computer. Silicon (Si...

We report an avalanche-mode light-emitting transistor (AMLET) in silicon (Si), based on a lateral bipolar junction, which emits light near 760 nm optical wavelength with a record low bandwidth of 38 nm. The AMLET, designed in a CMOS-compatible silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonics platform, is optically confined within a 0.21 ∼\μ m thick SOI...

The understanding of quantum mechanics enabled the development of technology such as transistors and has been the foundation of today’s information age. Actively using quantum mechanics to build quantum technology may cause a second revolution in handling information. However, to execute meaningful algorithms, largescale quantum computers have...

This dissertation describes a set of experiments with the goal of creating a super-conductor-semiconductor hybrid circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture with single electron spins. Single spins in silicon quantum dots have emerged as attractive qubits for quantum computation. However, how to scale up spin qubit systems remains an open...

The CMOS silicon avalanche-mode light-emitting diode (AMLED) has emerged as a potential light source for monolithic optical interconnects. Earlier we presented a superjunction light-emitting diode (SJLED) that offers a higher electroluminescent intensity compared to a conventional AMLED because of its more uniform field distribution. However,...

In temperature coefficient measurements of PV modules, a low level of agreement in results is observed between different laboratories, with deviations up to ±10% for Pmax temperature coefficients. Such deviations are considered as an uncertainty component in PV energy yield assessments, and are seen as financial risk by investors and purchasers....

In recent years, Quantum Computing has gone from theory to a promising reality, leading to quantum chips that in a near future might be able to exceed the computational power of any current supercomputer. For this to happen, there are some problems that must be overcome. For example, in a quantum processor qubits are usually arranged in a 2D...

The cost and the development time of pharamecutical products are often severely affected by the in vitro tests currently employed in pharmaceutical R&D. These assays are often failing to accurately recapitulate diseases and to predict human responses to new medicines. Organ-on-Chip (OOC) devices are designed to result in advanced in vitro...

Wireless photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices promise easy device fabrication as well as reduced losses. Here, the design and fabrication of a stand-alone ion exchange material-embedded, Si membrane-based, photoelectrochemical cell architecture with micron-sized pores is shown, to overcome the i) pH gradient formation due to long-distance ion...

In this Letter, a slope transfer method to fabricate vertical waveguide couplers is proposed. This method utilises wet etched Si as a mask, and takes advantage of dry etching selectivity between Si and SiC, to successfully transfer the profile from the Si master into SiC. By adopting this method, a <2° slope is achieved. Such a taper can...

Thermal oxidation in silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) induces stress in the oxide film and silicon. Such residual stresses are usually unwanted, as it can influence performance or damage components. It can also cause unwanted plastic deformation in silicon, as was observed in previous research. Currentmeasurement methods inMEMSare...

We present a high-performance back-illuminated three-dimensional stacked single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), which is implemented in 45-nm CMOS technology for the first time. The SPAD is based on a P<sup>+</sup>/Deep N-well junction with a circular shape, for which N-well is intentionally excluded to achieve a wide depletion region, thus...

In the transition towards a renewable based energy supply, one of the main challenges is the intermittent nature of most renewable energy sources. In order to ensure a stable energy supply, different storage technologies attract a lot of research attention. For long term storage, using hydrogen as artificial fuel is a promising option. However,...

Silicon nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a dielectric matrix, such as silicon oxide, pose a promising candidate for all-silicon multi-junction solar cells. This material is often analysed with photoluminescence (PL) measurements. In literature, the intensities of different PL measurements are either directly compared or normalized. Normalization...

The authors report the direct-write growth of hammerhead atomic force microscope(AFM) probes by He+beam induced deposition of platinum-carbon. In order to grow a thin nanoneedle on top of a conventional AFM probe, the authors move a focused He+beam during exposure to a PtC precursor gas. In the final growth stage, a perpendicular movement of the...
